a week of food

The foodie things we have enjoyed this week...

garlic butter - perfect for using up stale bread


trying to remember to soak oats the night before (rolled oats, water and a dash of apple cider vinegar)


to make porridge.. in my books best served with full cream milk, honey and yoghurt


Luca's crackers and cheese





orange cake with ricotta icing


 snacking ... gouda cheese, carrot and fennel


no knead bread with baked beans


cabbage, carrot and red onion salad dressed with a vinaigrette of olive oil, vinegar, sea salt and maple syrup

 ***


Thank you so much for all your get well wishes yesterday. I'm almost feeling back to normal and Violet seems to be on the mend. Hope you are all well.

  3. Hi Tania,

    I came across your lovely blog via somewhere else. Can't remember where now.

    It's making me hungry to think of garlic bread. I love homemade garlic butter!

    I like my porridge with sultanas and cut up dried apricots cooked in it. Or sometimes I grate an apple into it and add some cinnamon and brown sugar. Still can't get my children to eat it though.

  4. Those pumpkin scones look so delicious. I've just had my lunch but I could do with a nice scone and jam to finish it off!
    Glad your feeling better. :)

  5. Oh garlic bread! Yumbo! I unfortunately scrape the remainding butter out of the bowl with crusty scraps and end up reeking!! You poor loves having a cold...the pits :(
    All that wholesome food and plenty of rest and crafty pottering will knock it over in no time.
    Keep warm :) x

  11. The coleslaw with maple syrup sounds very interesting and having never done a single thing with fennel I certainly had no idea that one could eat it like a stick of celery. Two new things to try, thanks.Glad you and bub are on the mend. melx

  18. I made homemade baked beans during the week too, which was a revelation to my daughter who thought they only came from tins. Having loathed tinned baked beans all her life - or so she thought - she's now declared the dish one of her favourites.
